The female gonad, the ovary is one of a pair of reproductive glands in women. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries produce eggs (ova) and female hormones. During each monthly menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one ovary. The egg travels from the ovary through a fallopian tube to the uterus. The ovaries are the main source of female hormones, which control the development of female body characteristics, such as the breasts, body shape, and body hair. They also regulate the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Some ovarian cancers produce excess hormones resulting in prolonged or absent heat cycles and hair loss. Treatment is surgical removal of the ovaries, and outcomes are good if the tumor has not spread to other sites within the abdomen.

An ovary or "egg sac" is one of a pair of reproductive glands in women. The ovaries produce the ovum or female egg which is transferred through the fallopian tube for fertilization by the sperm. The ovary also produces both the hormones estrogen and progesterone.

Ovaries are egg-producing reproductive organs found in female organisms. They are part of the vertebrate female reproductive system. Ovaries in females are homologous to testes in males.

In the flowering plants, an ovary is a part of the female reproductive organ of the flower or gynoecium. Specifically, it is the part of the carpel which holds the ovule(s) and is located at the basal portion of the flower. Some wind pollinated flowers have much reduced and modified ovaries.
